PLDT pressrelease
PLDT FORMS DIGICO
MANILA, Philippines 7th March 2024 – PLDT Inc. (PLDT) (PSE: TEL) (NYSE: PHI) today announced the formation of a digital entity that will harness the data assets of the MVP Group of Companies and provide a platform for a serious Group-wide digitalization effort (“Digico”). This collaboration represents the first step in a collective effort to drive new opportunities for growth and value within the MVP group. Digico will be co-owned by PLDT, Smart, Meralco, and Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC).
Digico will use a tech platform that can enable us to scale up and achieve seamless integration of services and capabilities. Further, payments and rewards systems are expected to be catalysts to empower the overall user experience. The payments platform will serve to provide a ubiquitous omni-channel solution by consolidating the Group’s multiple payments channels. This means a seamless, secure, and versatile experience for customers and businesses can be achieved.
“This will be ‘the app’ for all Filipinos—their default platform for bills, payments, and rewards,” said Kat Luna-Abelarde, Digico Chief Commercial Officer.
“For the MVP Group and our many partners, your growth is a priority for us. Digico will serve as catalyst that could unlock new revenue streams and drive incremental value. For our customers, we are committed to a future where every Filipino can get the convenience and service they deserve,” concluded Manuel V. Pangilinan, the Group CEO.
